Haven't seen the movie. Have series set to record. We'll see if it stays that way.

Well, I think I will watch Fargo tonight, nothing like seeing Steven Buscemi getting stuffed in a wood chipper.

Skipping it
Posted By: mack5511 Re: Fargo Tonight On FX - 04/15/14
I can't stand the movie and this series is making my ears bleed. I know we have an accent but it sure don't sound like any of the people on either the show or the movie. The Cohen's can kiss my royal red ass!

I will admit some of the Finlanders from the Iron Range have a unique accent though but by far not the majority of the people from MN.
Posted By: northern_dave Re: Fargo Tonight On FX - 04/15/14
Imagine that, a guy from Fargo... that won't be watching.

Hmmm, I wonder why?







I will definitely not be watching.

This is the TV show, not the movie.
Posted By: 2muchgun Re: Fargo Tonight On FX - 04/15/14
Plenty of Finlander accents in Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. I'd have to assume ND also. But obviously not everyone and everywhere. I could see a fake accent bothering some. Does me at times, also.

That said, I'll give the show a test drive............
Posted By: mack5511 Re: Fargo Tonight On FX - 04/15/14
Between the fake accents and pandering slang not to mention making everyone look like bumbling fools that lives in outstate MN! I still invite the Cohen Bros to a hearty Deflave GFY!!!
My grandparents spoke with a thick Norwegian-American accent.

I know plenty of people with the Minnesota accent.

I would think that North Dakotans, or all Northerners for that matter, would be proud of a lady like Marge, a pregnant, gun-toting law enforcement officer who thinks a 20-below blizzard is a 'nice day'.........

The movie was hyperbole of course, that's what made it funny. Take it down an order of magnitude and it reminds me of real people I've known. Particularly the syntax. I'll give the series a look but from the few trailers I've seen I'm afraid they'll take the hyperbole hyperbolic. Way over the top which would make it obnoxious don't ya know.

What rings true about the movie is people don't run around with their hair on fire. This little town got snowed in for a week a few years ago, the only time in the 20 years I've lived here. People just checked on their neighbors, helped when they could, and waited for the problems to sort themselves out. Even the TV news guys were pretty much just the facts in reporting. No doom, gloom, oh the humanity come save us kind of crap.
Here's the trailer...color me skeptical.

Reviews ain't bad.

I grew up on the Iron Range and Big Falls MN. I have heard the accents from the older generation too. Still never liked the movie and all the BS that goes with it.

Looks like it would remind me of Twin Peaks weirdness.

Don't have enough spare time for that. But I'm sure it'll have a following.

not when it brings all the jack arse californians running to turn your state int Kali Part II
Yeah, it made me want to move there too. Redford can really paint a picture.

Friggen awesome cinematography.

i dont mind the movie, hell i own a copy......but though 2/3 the state is a warm water fishery we are constantly fighting Trout Unlimited.....with only 1/3 of the state being cold water, we have 9 cold water hatcheries but only 2 warm water ones and we had to fight tooth and nail to get the second one built and keep trout out of it.....the warm water equivalent of TU is all volunteer based, the MT TU president makes a hell of a salary cause of the influx of dollars from out of state in large part due to that damn movie
Fargo ain't bad so far.

Bullied dude is fixin' to snap.

Billybob is gonna be the hit man.

One of the best. My blond kid brother was killed when he was 27 and I cry every time I watch this story about �trout fishing.�
